Im a question that baa been presented before Attorney-General Crawford for hia opinion. The attorney-general Is out of tho city and will not take the matter up until his return. The riueatlon arises out of the fact that the new law changing the time of levying taxes goes into effect January I, 1904, while the levy of taxes under the present system will not be made until later in that month, when the county courts hold their regular ses sions. Under the present system the assessment Is made In one year, the levy made the following January and the taxes collected in April. The last legislature In response to quite a general demand, changed the time of payment from spring to the preceding fall and provided that the assessment Bhould be made prior to July 1. the levy be made in September und the taxes be collected before De cember 31. Since the old law pro vided that the levy should be made in January and the new law fixing the time in September will go Into effect January 1, it is clear that when the county courts meet next January tbey will find the law changed. LIVESTOCK SHOW OOOD. Breeder. Bring Better Herd, to State Fair Than Evev Before. A better lot of dairy cattle were nev er brought together In the Northwest than those that are now to be seen in the livestock department of the Ore gon state fair. For many years the most progressive and enterprising breeders and dairymen bave been striving for something better than what they already had, and each achievement haa but spurred them on to another effort. The farmer generally was not appre ciative of the endeavors of the breed ers until In the last few years when dairying became a promising occupa tion, and farmers found that they must raise loss wheat and more stock In order to maintain the productive qualities of their land. Now every one places a proper estimate on the alue of the livestock breeders' serv ices to the country as a whole, and gerat Interest centers in the relative merits of the different cattle.

An Idea of the amount of logging done In Lane county may be gained from the fact that the Booth-Kelly lumber company alone has 50,000.000 feet of logs either In their booms at the mills or ready to be floated down the river. They have 4.009.000 feet of logs at their Coburg mill and 10.000, 000 feet more doting down the Mc- Kenxle. They have a drive of 6.000.- 000 feet more coming down the Wil lamette to the Springfield mill and 18. 000.000 feet more banked ready for a drive. The logs at the wendling and Saginaw mills swell the total to 40, 000,000 feet. Fin. Salmon In River. The fall flshlne season has now progressed sufficiently to establish the fact that there is an excellent run of steelhends and sllversides In the riv er of fine quality. Fall salmon have not yet put in an appearance, but there are some tules. The price paid is 3 cents per pound for steelheads and 1 cent per pound for sllversides. Sea borg'a cannery at Keagle Cliff is pack ing sllversides and ia receiving all that can be nanuiea. Anxious tor Free Lock. Tho Imtpnendence lniDrOvement league has been asked by outside val ley towns to help In securing rree iocks at Oregon City.

Shortage ol Men for Harveat. There is any quantity of grain yet unthreshed and In the field, around Independence! And there Is an exten sive shortage of men to handle the ,i.-Ai,i(r niitflt. A number of the threshers have been compelled to close down, some win not do acie io get a threshing crew Into their grain inside of two weeks. Looking for a Creamery Sit. Curtis Seeley of Walport.

FOUR CROPS OF ALFALFA. Demonatratloa of Succe. of That Crop on Heavy Clay Soil.. One of the entirely new and valuable exhibits made by the Oregon agri cultural experiment . station at the state fair, Is a collection of specimens of alfalfa, showing the successive crops taken from a field in a single season. The-fctatlon has been experi menting with alfalfa tot several years for the purpose of demonstrating what can be done on heavy clay soils with out Irrigation. The college people do not conduct their experiment, under unusually favorable conditions, but sow their seeds on just such soil as the average Willamette valley fanner is using. The airalfa exhibited was taken from the field at four successive cut tlnss In one year. The first crop was cut on May 22, and yielded In green forage 11.22 tons per acre. The sec ond crop was cut on June 22 and yield ed in green forage 2.70 ton. per acre. The third crop was cut on July 28, and yielded 2.80 tons per acre. The fourth crop was cut on September 3 and yielded 1.47 ton. per acre. CHALLENGE HOP YIELD. Lane County Yard Tarn. Out Nearly 3,000 Pounds Per Acre. The best record for bopyards that has been reported thi. season, or In fact for several years, come, from the yard of George A. borrls. ear Springfield, which is regarded as one of the best yards In the county. Mr. Don-is has 10 or 12 acre., and from the first five acre, picked and baled he had 14.000 pounds of hops, or a yield of 2800 pounds per acre. The yard foreman says that Instead of this re port coming from the choice parts of the yard that the whole yard will not fall below that average, and single acres could be picked that would yield 3004 pound.. B'g Chuaka of Odd. There was a display of gold nuggets it the Medford bank a few day. ago which were taken out of the celebrat ed Sterling mine, owned by H. E. An keny, about 15 miles south of Medford. The value of the nugget. Is between $3500 and $4000. They were all good sized pieces and were all picked up by hand during the clean np process. The largeset nugget weighed nearly $140. Thi. represent, but a very small part of the season's clean up of this mine. Tha bulk of gold from this mine is made into bricks, which weigh nearly $3000 each, of which several have been sent to the mint- Fortunes From Cctcara. Nearly $60,000 In cash is the amount realized from cascara bark purchased and shipped from Benton couSty this season. Careful compila tion and conservative estimates place the exact figuresat $59,400. The pro duct Is represented in 27 11-ton cars of bark, either shipped or to be ship ped this season. The aggregate weight of the bark was 594,000 pounds. Though much of it went at 14 cents and better, so much left trie peelers' hands at 4, 5 and 6 cents earlier In the lieved to have fallen at about 10 season that the average price is De cent. High Orad. Ooata and Sheep. William Riddle of Monmouth, has taken his pen. of pure-blooded Ango ra goats and Cotswold sheep to Salem for the state fair. He has been award ed in the past a number of premiums and his stock are In fine condition to enter this year. Mr. John Stump also has some pens of blooded Cotswold sheep at the fair grounds, and they are handsome types of the breed. Both these breeders have bad much experi ence and raise the best of stock.
